Biography
Sheikh Arslan Sehgal current study is aimed at exploring and identifying potential B- and T-cell epitopesthrough immunoinformatics approaches which help to design an effective vaccine againstdeadly SARS-CoV-2. In addition, the study is aimed at pointing out specific peptides from the coronaviral proteome, which have the ability to bind with major histocompatibility complex (MHC), one of the most crucial steps in vaccine designing. A multiepitope vaccine was also designed from different epitopes of coronavirus proteins joined by linkers and led by an adjuvant. Our investigations predicted epitopes and the reported molecules that may have the potential to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These findings can be a step towards the development of a peptide-based vaccine or natural compound drug target against SARS-CoV-2.
